Health and consumers protection

The area of health and consumer protection is the
legislative domain that has and continues to witness the
most intense legislative development on the level of the
European Union. The applications of this area overlap
with other domains of law to such an extent that these
in fact tend to be countless.

In the area of health, one may think of the issue of
alimentation, which covers a wide range of legal
questions from the nutritional and health claims to the
legislation in the area of pesticides. One may equally
refer to legislation concerning cosmetics or even
pharmaceutical products. In the area of consumer
protection, one must take account of issues related to
direct sales within the internal market, but equally of
the emergence of novel questions such as the
protection of private data on the occasion of sales of
goods and services within an interconnected society.
